I didn't bother with trying any options with the make file, because there was no info on this in the readme file from the developer... but in retrospect, I could have given this a shot...

I will try this again with Wary Puppy, because I know that many people would prefer to install a Pet instead of extracting a package and using the command line... In the event that I am successful, I will have to edit my previous post and... eat a bit of Crow for being so presumptuous.

Here is BleachBit-0.9.3 compiled in Wary Puppy 5.3 Note that Python 2.7 is a dependency, and will have to be installed first.

It turns out for me that Bleachbit does not want to build properly in the local pathway, and so removing that one directory in the makefile seems to make all the difference... I have included support for international languages in this Pet rather than build it as a separate package... the final size seems reasonable.

I was looking at my bash history and realized I had built a record with hundreds of entries. While I could have simply deleted the file at

Code:

/root/.history

and the file would have been re-generated once I started using the terminal again, I wondered about doing a regular cleaning with Bleachbit.

It turns out that Bleachbitis configured to delete the bash history, but the file is named incorrectly for Puppy, so it doesn't show up in the menu for cleaning purposes. This is easily fixed. -->/usr/share/bleachbit/cleaners and right click on bash.xml to Open As Text. Look for the following line:

Code:

<action command="delete"search="file"path="~/.bash_history"/>

modify it to read:

Code:

<action command="delete" search="file" path="~/.history"/>

Save your changes, close out, then run Bleachbit and you should see the new entry for your command-line history. Now you can check the two boxes for Bash and this file will be included for cleaning. In fact your .history file will be deleted, but there are no worries because it will be created anew the next time you run a command at the terminal.

For anyone wanting to compile Bleachbit in future, this change should be easily made in the source code.
